Hello, and welcome to Watch What Crappens.
**Ronnie Karam** (0:25)
Bravo podcast, I'm Ronnie, that's Ben over there. How are you, Ben?
**Ben Mandelker** (0:29)
I'm great, thanks. How are you doing?
**Ronnie Karam** (0:31)
Good, I thought you were going to do the intro, so I was just sitting here, like, hmm. Can't wait to hear what Ben has to say. Was it my? No, it's my turn, it's my turn.
**Ben Mandelker** (0:39)
Oh, okay.
**Ronnie Karam** (0:40)
I thought it was- As it starts this Monday.
**Ben Mandelker** (0:42)
That's how Monday begins. That's great, we could do it together.
**Ronnie Karam** (0:46)
Yeah.
Well, welcome, everybody.
Happy Monday and happy final reunion day of Real Housewives of Atlanta. As usual, if you want this on video, you can find that on Patreon, okay? On Crappens On Demand. Also, that's where you find our bonus episodes and Discord server, a free newsletter that's like a recap of all this stuff that we talk about during the week, and ad-free listing, which is a big one. Go get it. And also, thanks to you, thanks you, thanks you, to everybody who came out last night in San Francisco to see Daisy and Hannah and I on The Seas. It was a really good time. They spilled a lot of tea on The Seas, all right? And it was super fun hanging out with them.
Really nice. We hung out eight hours, and we had a really good time. I was exhausted by the time I was done. Jesus, I don't talk to anybody that much except for you.
**Ben Mandelker** (1:43)
Well, who knows? Maybe I've uncorked your ability to talk with other people for a long space of time.
**Ronnie Karam** (1:51)
I didn't get bored. They were great.
**Ben Mandelker** (1:54)
Thank you also to those who came to the book talk.
One Crappens listener came up to me afterwards, and she brought her son to this cookbook. The moment we had Martin Sorge. Remember, I was like, his name is Martin Sorge. And then I started saying, his name is Martin Sorge, because that's what Google said. Guess what? His name is Martin Sorge. But Great Bakes was the book. And thanks to everyone who came to that. And one Crappens listener brought her son, and her son asked a question during the Q&A, and it was the messiest question of all. He was like, what was the stuff we didn't see on Great American Baking Show? Like, what was really going on? And I was like, ugh. I love that the children of the Crappens listeners are asking the messy questions. I love, first of all, that he asked a question in the first place, but that he represented Crappens, the Crappens community, so well. But seriously, thanks to everyone who came to that event. It was so lovely.
**Ronnie Karam** (2:49)
Was it a messy answer, too?
**Ben Mandelker** (2:51)
No, it was all polite, it was all good. Basically, what Martin said is that actually, like, it's a really, really nice production and what you see is what you get. There was no messiness behind the scenes.
**Ronnie Karam** (3:03)
Oh, well, you know, plus that kid for trying. Get messy, you're lying. I know. I'm just kidding.
Well, here we are. Real Housewives of Atlanta, Season 17, Episode 20, Reunion Part 3
**Ben Mandelker** (3:20)
Ew, exciting times, the reunion.
**Ronnie Karam** (3:26)
They're exhausted by the time they leave this reunion.
**Ronnie Karam** (3:29)
I know, it's intense.
**Ronnie Karam** (3:31)
They give a lot. They keep it up the entire time. I mean, there is no...
Even the parts where I was like, okay, all right, guys. Again, I say it during almost every reunion, we do not need three parts.
**Ben Mandelker** (3:45)
We don't need it.
**Ronnie Karam** (3:46)
But God, I laugh every time.
**Ben Mandelker** (3:49)
This is a great cast. Like, it is a great, great cast. Like, who cares what I had. Complained about how sort of late in the season, maybe the final act of the season kind of started to run out of gas. But that has nothing to do with the fact that this is a great cast. Their chemistry is amazing. They are hilarious. Their reads are non-stop. Andy, Andy basically gave them his blessing at the end of the reunion where he's like, ah, this baby, I haven't had this much fun since back in the day. So yeah.
I think we have a great foundation for next season.
**Ronnie Karam** (4:29)
Yeah. Let's see where it goes next season.
I guess we can talk at the end, like who do you think will be back? Let's get through this first.
